Truck Types

I would be screwed cause I don't like taking my foot off the pedal, I'll run. Up on a slower truck then move out to avoid blocking g traffic but I do it safely.

 

In the truck I had they had to replace the Onguard twice because every time I would hit a bump it would slam on the brakes. It seems like Onguard is pretty much standard in new frightshakers now. I pretty much drove with the cruise off since it's linked to it.

 

Mine usually behaves and it's pretty nice to have with cruise control on in most situations. Slowing down when someone ahead of me does, etc. It just has the occasional hiccup. Pros are outweighing the cons on it so far after a month, but I drive pretty conservatively anyhow, so it's not like I'm setting it off all the time.

 

If a vehicle in front of me slows down, I will notice it with my human eyes, and make a human adjustment, with my human feet. I don't need nor want a computer to drive my truck.
They really need to stop messing around with this kind of stuff---something bad is going to happen, and all hell is going to break loose. Truck nearly jack-knifes on wet road because IT decides to slam on the breaks for no good reason? Wow!

 

That's why I don't want to work for a company that has that onguard, if onguard becomes standard I may just have to drive without the cruise control or save up money and buy my own truck

 

Haha, I am in the same boat you are. 6'4 190 The squeezing between seats and ducking sucks but atleast the sleeper I can stand up in

 

I seen they was ordering the Freightliners again but they have on-guard? Last freight liner I put up with was when I got off my trainers truck at the Sunnyvale yard and got issued a 07 Century Classic. automatic. Big inside lots of room, paper logs >.> and did 72mph with the pedal kept it two months before it de-rated on it self, made it to Tulsa running a max speed of 51mph haha

 

Yeah, they do. When I worked at Sygma, we had a truck with OnGuard and it was terrible, but they seem to have worked out the major kinks with the 14 Freightliners. It doesn't go crazy going under bridges or past big signs like the other one did and it behaves pretty reasonably. I also figured out that it won't do much of anything at all if you have cruise control off.
